"Fifty percent said Social Security is in crisis, echoing an assertion that Mr. Bush has made and that has been disputed by Democrats and independent analysts."

CBO report from June 2004:
"The Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) analysis  of Social Security shows the program to be  considerably stronger than has been indicated in recent reports by the Social Security trustees. The new analysis finds the program will be able to pay full  scheduled benefits until 2053 - nearly fifty  years into the future - with no changes  whatsoever. This means Social Security is far sounder today than it has been through  most of its existence. In the past, shortfalls in every decade from the forties   to the eighties required frequent tax increases, with the last series of increases ending in 1990."
